Apollo 13™

The best simulation for learning the ITIL IT methodology

Requirements:
  • English

For teams of 8 - 12 participants.

ITIL® is an effective IT management tool. Nevertheless, are you one of the organizations that have invested in the training of their employees, but are you unable to translate this knowledge into practical benefits?

The use of "best practice" requires a change in the attitude of stakeholders. And that's exactly what this simulation is about. Using practical examples, you will try the application of ITSM best practices in the organization.

The ITSM simulator helps teams:

  • improve communication

  • become a more efficient team

  • use the potential of agile management

  • necessary opportunity of members in the organization

  • understand internal company processes, inputs and outputs

What will you learn

More information
  • more effective communication and cooperation
  • pragmatic and continuous improvement of services
  • clearly defined, agreed tasks, roles and responsibilities
  • easier coordination of people, processes, products and partners

Frequently asked questions

All questions

What are Business Simulations?

Business Simulations are interactive workshops in which teams of employees work on challenging issues within a simulated environment. The environment can be the same or a totally different context to the 'normal' working environment. In a simulation each participant will play a role and has specific tasks, responsibilities and authority.

How does the simulation work?

Participants must discuss and agree how they will work together as a team. Business Simulations are facilitated by trainers who provide the team with support and instructions and who also helps the team reflect on their experiences and what they have learned. The facilitator can also help reflect on how to translate the learning points into the participants own working environment. Simulations are played in a number of rounds so that participants can see, feel and experience improvements as the simulation progresses. It is the reflection moments between rounds when people learn and make improvement choices that will have an impact in the next round.

How many participants are required for the simulation?

Our business simulations are designed for a group of 8 - 12 participants.
